Motivation for this change

This avoids conflicts between man pages of openssl subcommands (for example 'ts' and 'err') man pages and their equivalent top-level command in other packages (respectively man-pages and moreutils).

This is done in ubuntu and archlinux, and possibly many other distros.

See ca73b1f for the original fix and for discussion.

I know that he have priorities to handle these collisions. But priorities also mean that man pages are no more accessible.

What changes for end-users with this? Will it now be man ts-ssl instead of man ts?

It will be man 1ssl ts or man openssl-ts. If man ts worked before, it will still be available. So the only change is that the man pages can be accessed with man 1ssl ts in case of ambiguity.
